The deputy commander suddenly stopped while talking, as if he was about to make a major decision. He frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head and ordered: "Immediately forward an order to Kong Jie: From now on, the three branches operating in the Fangshan area The guerrillas were also under the command of the Second Regiment, and the three guerrillas were combined to form the Peking Guerrilla Brigade, with Comrade Huang Yu also serving as the captain."
The deputy chief of staff seemed to have guessed the deputy commander-in-chief's bold plan. He was shocked for a while before asking: "Chief, you won't let Kong Jie go to Tianjin to raid Tianjin and seize the Tianjin dock, will you?"
"Why not?" the deputy commander asked.
"If they really have the strength to take over Tianjin Terminal, I will definitely not stop them."
"Tianjin Wharf stores all the weapons, ammunition and important materials sent by the Japanese from China to North China."
"Weapons alone can equip several main divisions, as well as a large number of heavy artillery, tanks, cars, and ammunition."
"If we can really win it, the entire Eighth Route Army will benefit."
"The firepower level of the entire army can be increased by at least 20%."
"This is only the direct benefit from our victory over the Tianjin Terminal. If we include the indirect benefits and the huge influence this battle brought to our Eighth Route Army, the benefits are too numerous to count."
"Since Kong Jie and Huang Yu have this ambition, and they have the opportunity to realize it, as superiors, we must help and push behind them."
"Huang Yu has been to Peiping, had contact with the guerrillas operating in the Fangshan area, and led them to win battles. He knows them very well, so it is perfect for him to serve as the team leader."
"Perhaps in a year's time, this guerrilla brigade may actually expand into a guerrilla detachment."
"If Kong Jie has the strength to raid Tianjin, this force lurking in the heart of the Japanese will definitely play a huge role."
"Taking a step back, even if Kong Jie doesn't have the chance to raid Tianjin, it would be good if they can establish a guerrilla brigade and develop it into a main force."
The deputy chief of staff was about to answer the call when the director of the intelligence department suddenly ran towards him: "Report to the chief, deputy chief of staff, our troops operating near SJZ reported: At 11 o'clock this morning, SJZ suddenly dispatched two reinforced squadrons and marched towards the direction. Heading due north, their destination is unknown, and I want to ask the headquarters if they know their final destination."
"More than two thousand little Japs left SJZ and marched towards the north?" The deputy commander immediately found the location of SJZ on the map and marked the direction of the Japanese army's march with a pencil.
Then he frowned and analyzed helplessly: "There are so many counties in the north of SJZ. Our Eighth Route Army alone has several regiments operating here. We are not roundworms in the devil's stomach. Without other intelligence, it is impossible to judge this gang. The real purpose of the little devil!"
The chief of staff also shook his head: "We don't even know what these little devils are doing out of the city. How can we possibly judge their marching target? I will call back to the frontline troops immediately and ask them to continue to monitor these little devils and report any new information immediately. .”
"There is no need to report everything..." the deputy commander suddenly interrupted.
"No matter what the real purpose of these little devils is, as long as they leave the military camp and enter our range of activities, we cannot let them go back easily."
"Immediately contact the troops operating around SJZ: let them use guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare to attack the little Japanese who leave the city and consume their troops."
"Even if the real target of these devils is not our base, I will let them lose their troops on the road and turn them into a remnant army with low morale."
"From now on, no matter what kind of Japanese and puppet troops leave their base and enter our base areas and guerrilla areas, they cannot be allowed to pass easily."
…………
At the Duer Regiment Headquarters, Kong Jie felt as if he had eaten candied fruit, with a smile on his face.
The captive soldiers Huang Yu brought back were indeed the elite of the appeasement army, and their individual combat effectiveness was very strong.
Fortunately, these puppet soldiers have little faith and weak will to fight. If they had the fighting will of a devil, Huang Yu wouldn't be able to capture them so easily.
But there are not so many ifs in the world.
Faced with a group of captive soldiers who could join the battle as supplementary troops, Kong Jie could not wait to recruit them all into the army.
Originally, he had handed over the matter to the chief of staff. After seeing the strength level of these prisoners, he decided to take action personally and mobilize them to join the Eighth Route Army as the leader of the Duer Regiment.
The effect was immediate. In just two days, more than 1,100 veterans were recruited from the prisoners, a full 300 more than expected.
Don’t underestimate the number three hundred.
If used properly, three hundred veterans can be expanded into a reinforced battalion.
The teaching team directly under the regiment headquarters was officially established yesterday afternoon. Kong Jie also serves as the captain of the teaching team. It has three infantry platoons, one artillery platoon, and one communications platoon. It is dedicated to cultivating squad and platoon-level cadres and special personnel for the troops.
Huang Yu stood on the rostrum, explaining the various policies of the Eighth Route Army to the prisoners with enthusiasm, and once again mobilized them to join the Eighth Route Army. He did not want to let any prisoner go.
Ten minutes later, sixteen more prisoners walked out of the team and applied to join the Eighth Route Army.
Kong Jie smiled even happier and became more and more satisfied with his speech just now.
"Regiment commander, there is an urgent call from the headquarters. The chief of staff asked you and the deputy chief of staff to go to the headquarters immediately." The regiment correspondent suddenly ran towards them, panting and reporting.
"Did the little Japs stationed in Baoding form a brigade and send troops..." Seeing the correspondent being so anxious, Kong Jie subconsciously analyzed it.
"If we really plan to sweep our base area by ourselves, we won't be afraid that the raiding troops will come back."
Huang Yu shook his head: "Probably not..."
"If the Japanese and puppet troops in Baoding really send troops to sweep the Yizhong Plain, we will definitely know about it before the headquarters."
Kong Jieshen agreed: "Forget it, guessing this kind of thing is too nerve-wracking. I'll understand everything when I return to the regiment headquarters."
After saying that, he trotted towards the regiment headquarters.
Liu Sen was talking to himself in front of the map, his face full of doubts. He must have encountered some unsolvable problem.
"Captain, you are back... The headquarters just gave us an order. I have been studying it for a long time and still can't understand it."
"The guerrillas operating in the Fangshan area are more than a hundred miles away from us, and there is a Japanese blockade in the middle. Even if the headquarters wants to organize them into a guerrilla brigade and develop into the main force, then they should send people there to become brigade captains and directly To command them, why should we sacrifice the near and seek the far away and let Xiao Huang also serve as the captain?"
"He is the deputy chief of staff of the Duer Regiment and the leader of the Shunping Garrison Regiment. It is impossible for him to stay in Fangshan and let Huang Yu be the captain. The guerrilla brigade will be the same as having no captain."
Kong Jie and Huang Yu looked at each other and smiled, seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
Seeing that Liu Sen was still studying the map with a puzzled expression, Kong Jie also nodded to him. Huang Yu immediately stood up and explained: "Chief of Staff, the chief is helping us set up a stage."
"The regiment leader mentioned one thing to the leader before coming to Yizhong: If the Duer Regiment develops smoothly and has the opportunity to expand the army to 10,000 people in the future, they will raid Tianjin and seize the Tianjin dock where the North China Front has stockpiled supplies, weapons and ammunition. Take it down."
"The chief should have seen that we have the potential to raid Tianjin, so he gave us the management of the Peiping Guerrilla Brigade."
"If we really plan to raid Tianjin Wharf in the future, having the Peking Guerrilla Brigade as an internal agent to help us will definitely save us a lot of trouble, and we won't even have to find a guide."
Liu Sen was shocked by this explanation.
Whether it was the Duer Regiment growing to 10,000 people, or raiding Tianjin City, and taking over the Tianjin Pier... these were things he had never dared to imagine before.
Now he dared to think.
A battalion commanded by Huang Yu can turn Peiping upside down and turn Okamura Neji around. If the total strength of the Du Er Regiment really grows to 10,000, they will definitely be able to capture the Tianjin Pier.
The shocked expression on his face was slowly covered by calmness. He stared at Huang Yu with a look of anticipation and asked, "Then let's raid Tianjin and locate the Duer Regiment's next combat target."
"It's just that the Peiping guerrilla brigade is more than a hundred miles away from us, and there is a Japanese blockade in the middle. It is very difficult to go back and forth. The leader asked Xiao Huang to concurrently serve as the captain of the guerrilla brigade. How to control it?"
Kong Jie suddenly interjected: "I think the chief's decision is very correct."
"Among us, Xiao Huang is the only one who has dealt with the guerrilla brigade and commanded them in battles. He is also familiar with the terrain of Fangshan and knows their true combat effectiveness."
"By letting Xiao Huang serve as the captain of the guerrilla brigade, we can adapt to local conditions and help them develop and grow as quickly as possible."
After saying that, he stared at Huang Yu who was deep in thought and asked: "Xiao Huang, how do you plan to be a good captain of the guerrilla brigade and how to reorganize and manage the guerrilla brigade? Tell us and we will help you advise!"
Huang Yu quickly made a decision in his mind. Looking at the confident faces of Kong Jie and Liu Sen, he said confidently: "I want Zhang Xuan, the secret agent company, to serve as the chief of staff of the guerrilla brigade. The secret agent company will be reorganized into the guard company of the guerrilla brigade. Three branches." The guerrillas were organized into three squadrons, with Zhang Xuan commanding the training during normal times, and I using the radio remote control command from the wing."
"Zhang Xuan can do it. I heard that he led the bombing of Peking Airport!" Kong Jie immediately stood up to support.
"Although he is young, he has a flexible mind and fights in an eclectic way. He is the material to be the chief of staff. The regiment will send another political commissar over... No, in order not to interfere with Zhang Xuan's command of the battle, a deputy political commissar will be sent over temporarily. He is only responsible for the team. Ideological work and logistical support, military training and command and control are all left to Zhang Xuan. Xiao Huang, you can help Zhang Xuan through the radio, and you will definitely be able to build a guerrilla brigade."
"Even if we don't have the chance to raid Tianjin in the future, it would be good to develop the three guerrilla groups into a main force group."
"Chief of Staff, please select an instructor from the regiment to serve as the deputy political commissar of the guerrilla brigade. The political level must be excellent."
"The Fangshan area is the heart of the enemy. No one should be allowed to sleep in the bed. Neji Okamura will definitely do everything possible to eliminate the guerrilla brigade."
"The pressure faced by the deputy political commissar will not be less than that of Zhang Xuan."
Huang Yu immediately answered, I also plan to ask Zhang Xuan to bring two infantry cannons and six mortars to form an artillery company directly under the guerrilla brigade. "
"The Japanese and puppet troops there are more difficult to fight than here. There are many bunkers. If the guerrilla brigade wants to develop and grow, it must have the ability to attack difficult areas."
】
"I won't bring the rifles and ordinary ammunition. The weapons and ammunition I left them are enough to expand the guerrilla brigade to a thousand people. If they have the strength and want to continue to expand their troops, then they have to rely on themselves. They can't do everything. Pull out the wool of the main force and rely on the main force to find a solution, otherwise Zhang Xuan will be too good at being the chief of staff."
